Sergeant Major Retirement Blues Box.

I took many pictures of this after I completed it, yet I couldn’t get on good picture without a reflection. I engraved the glass door with a dremel. That took some time. It has a light that shines on the name wood burned into the hanger. The light shined down on the uniform just right in the dark to light the front of the jacket, it was like a night light. The shoes look nasty in the box, but my command wanted the complete uniform in the box minus the cover. Crushed blue velvet along the back with a popped out Blood Stripe red crushed velvet down the middle of the back. I understand that the medals could be placed on the jacket as well, but SgtMaj. Mason wanted his blues in a box with a glass front. He told his wife she could break it and bury him in his blues when he dies. I made a M1 Grand rifle box that matched this box as well as a flag box. Semper Fi!!

As a Retired Marine I can certainly appreciate this and the work you put into its creation. I also like the extra touches with the Enlisted Rank Structure on the left panel. It is also fitting with the Dress Blue Uniform to have both the awarded Medals and Ribbons displayed on the uniform. The Medals would be over the left breast and Ribbons over the right. Fantastic job.
